An interesting observation was made today, a contemporary sly change in the text on the Nvidia website seems to indicate that NVIDIA has downgraded the requirements for G-Sync Ultimate certification. The VESA DisplayHDR 1000 requirement has changed to “realistic HDR”.
In the past, NVIDIA applied strict qualifications to Ultimate specifications; G-Sync Ultimate required mandatory features, such as VESA DisplayHDR 1000 certification and a G-Sync module. And that means that a monitor must provide at least 1000 rivets of brightness performance (peak). Things tested by NVIDIA and then certified, I should mention, where it performs over 300 tests.
The previous list of specifications requires 1000 nits of maximum brightness
The new writing shows that 1000 Nits are converted to “realistic HDR”. And this is a fairly fluent wording; this value can be anything you need to decipher. Previously, the HDR 1000 requirement meant the need to be associated with an expensive G-SYNC module for that G-Sync Ultimate tag, as was very well noticed by website monitors.
What happens if a manufacturer offers a 400 or 600 rivet monitor with a GSYNC module? Yes, in this form, even this could be labeled as G-SYNC ultimate and you will still pay the certification premium.
